It is possible that this is a "timing" issue -- updating of the list
definition headers may have occurred AFTER the software processed a (not
the) message from you.
Or it is possible that "you" are a subscriber and thus the change of
definition was not effective in this test?
The REPLY-TO= has nothing to do with any of the symptons enumerated
The "out of office" messages are a result of 'broken" subscriber systems
e.g., vacation messages sent as the result of bulk mail (e.g.,
LISTSERV-based) is specious.
